How to build sword and board marines

How to build sword and board marines

I'm new to the game and was looking through the rulebook and the marines here caught my eye. The book calls them veterans. I can tell the heads are from the imperial fist sprue and the shields appear to be from the jumppack marine kit and the swords from the command squad perhaps, does anyone happen to know where these bodies come from? I'm interested in trying to recreate these guys.

Breacher? DARN NEAR KILLED ‘ER

These guys took a lot longer to complete than I thought, and I’m ready to move on from them. I did have a lot of fun with them and I’m looking forward to seeing them on the field.

The red recipe is first prime with mephiston red. Then an all over wash with dark tone. Then I airbrush Sanguine Scarlet without getting too much in the recesses. After that it’s a light drybrush of Demon Red for the highlights

Qin Xa joins the Red Keshig

Qin Xa added to my Scars. I used a lot of the new John Blanche paints for the main colours and really found them a joy to work with.

Red Butcher of the 12th Legion

Why does 30k just look so much better than 40k with almost every model??? I love the Cataphracti’s man.

Here is my attempt at a World Eater terminator, lemme know what you think?

Araknae quad accelerator platform vs tanks?

My current list is short on tank units, and for now I'm not even sure if i want to buy one. At the same time i can buy araknae for rather low price. The question is how good it'll fit "anti-tank" role? I know it's stationary, but it has some decent stats. Or I'm completely wrong and should just buy a predator?

Kitbash WIP

1-5: Are of my seeker squad I’ve started working on still need to get bolters and the rest of the desired helmets. Ignore the bolter in the test fit pictures placeholder.

6: My first Centurion, gave him a mix of power armour as he probably seen large amounts of combat and has decided a mixture of plates would provide better protection

Would this converted and de spiked and tentacled 40k warpsmith pass as an Iron Warriors siege breaker consul or is it still too “chaos”?

Eleon Iasus, Nemesis Destroyers, Ultramarines Praetor

Eleon lasus, Chapter Master of the 22nd Nemesis Destroyers, Ultramarines Legion.

By Lord Guilliman's decree, the Nemesis Destroyers wage war against the foulest and most hated entities xhe galaxy may spew towards glorious Ultramar. There is no limit tO the damaging arsenal the Nemesis Chapter I arm themselves with. The most poisonous foes require the most poisonous weaponry.

We fight the foul with Courage, Honour and above all hatred.

Really pleased with how this model has turned out, he is going to be the praetor for my Destroyers themed army which l'll be taking along to snbattlereports No Retreat event later this year.

The galaxy is a dangerous place and turncoat legionaries are not the only threat, that's why I wanted to represent my character rigging a Greenskin infested settlement to blow

Hope you like this guy, had a lot of fun with this onel
